You probably feel, as so many men do, that your own qualities are unique and wonderful, and that there should be someway of making more of you. There is. If you can get used to children, and have enough of them you may find one, which recaptures some of your points. Though there are other ways of having children, marriage is the only one that is socially acceptable. Get married and before you know it the little ones will be on their way.
LONGER LIFE
Any set of life insurance figures will show you that married men live longer than unmarried ones. This is true. What it means is that the men who choose to marry are the longer-lived types, paradoxically enough the less adventurous and more sedentary. This is because of the popular misconception that married life is quieter and more settled. Getting married will not actually make you live longer. It will shorten your life. But once again, in many cases it is worth it.
SEX
The man who marries for sex alone will surely regret it. If you are one of this types, you have no need for marriage, since you will have few scruples against taking advantage of unmarried girls, and will find far more sex outside of wedlock than within it. Our instruction is not for your breed, nor will you be welcome in our discussion groups.
CHOOSE YOUR OWN REASON
Have you found a reason that suits you? If you are decent and honorable, you may be swayed by the fact that getting married is the right thing to do. This alone will be enough for many of you. Whatever the reason, if your choice is marriage, do not enter it blindly. The pitfalls are many, the margin for error small.
